Allen aces Glen Helen OTMX
By David Procida
SAN BERNARDINO, CA, FEB. 28
The Old Timers Motocross Oub was greeted
with a wet sloppy course at Glen Helen OHV
Park, but it wasn't enough to slow down
Herbert Allen as he posted a double-moto win
in the Old Timer Expert class.
Allen grabbed the holeshot in the first moto,
with Robert Fiesler and Doug Rodrigues in tow.
Rodrigues went wide in the first turn and was
gobbled up by the pack. George 5pearing edged

into third, with Joe Brown and Keith Phillips
rounding out the top five.
Phillips was on the gas and powered by
Brown at the same time that Spearing took
advantage of a missed shift by Fiesler to take
over second. Fiesler recovered quickly and
began to pressure Spearing as they headed
towards the back straight. As the riders carne
from the back section of the course, Fiesler had
reclaimed second.
Up front. Allen extended his lead with every
lap and went uncontested to the checkered flag.
Feisler held onto second and Phillips settJed for
third. Breaking into the top five as the moto
came to a close were Honda-mounted Mike
Chesbro and Jack Allen.
As the gate fell for moto two Jack Allen
grabbed the holes hot with Herbert Allen and
Rodrigues in hot pursuit. Jack Allen made
things easier for the announcer by dumping his
Kawasaki after gelling crossed up in a rutted
jump, leaving only one Allen out in front.
Chesbro was out to better his first moto finish and took over second as he slipped by
Rodrigues, who also fell victim to new member
Mike Jervey. As the race progressed, Allen
increased his lead, duplicating his first moto
performance. At midmoto Jervey dove inside
Chesbro for second, but Chesbro quickly retaliated and retook second a lap later. Joe Brown
had been lurking in the shadows and was now
making his presence known as he moved into
fifth, with his sights set on lervey.
Behind Brown, Phillips, Richard Bealer and
AI Smith were engaged in a battle for a slot in
the top five. On the last lap, Fiesler overtook
Brown for third and Bealer danced through the
whoops for fifth.
When the results were posted, it was Herbert
Allen with the overall over Fiesler, Chesbro,
Phillips and Brown.
